Why choose an intense citrus scent?
Citrus fragrances smell wonderful at 8 a.m. but have often faded by lunchtime. A woody-citrus scent with a strong base keeps the freshness going longer. NO BOUNDS is LR’s fragrance in that style within the MOOD INFUSION collection, where each perfume is named after a mood. LR describes it as unshakeable, determined and confident of victory, “the scent for modern heroes”.
LR describes an explosive freshness of grapefruit and bergamot, a bold heart of geranium and rose with tart rhubarb, and an earthy, woody base of patchouli, cedarwood and vetiver rounded off with warm musk. Rhubarb is an unusual note that gives a crisp, slightly green tartness.
It suits men with long working days, and it is a strong gift choice for someone who likes fresh scents but wants more depth.

How should you wear it?
- Spray it on skin: LR explains that perfume develops best on the skin, because body warmth releases the fragrance molecules, so the scent comes through more intensely and lasts longer.
- Two sprays: one on the neck and one on the chest are enough for an intense scent.
- Seasons: the citrus suits spring and summer, while the woody base keeps it good all year.
- For the office: spray under your shirt so it stays closer to you during the day.
- Take care with fabrics: you can also spray hair or clothing for a stronger effect, but test a hidden spot first on light-coloured or delicate materials, as the fragrance may leave marks.
